Survivor Game Changers: Each player’s big game-changing moment

Brad Culpepper – Huge immunity run

For the majority of Survivor Game Changers, it looked like it was Brad Culpepper’s game to lose. From the early beginnings, he was making strong social moves (convincing Tai to vote out his strongest partner in 18th place), strategic moves (showing sympathy for Monica to gain the trust of Aubry and Cirie) and strength moves (strong performances in tribe challenges).

However, soon after the merge, Brad and Sierra were no longer in charge of the majority alliance. His groundwork to get to the Loved One’s challenge, however, kept him safe with Cirie, as she kept his name off of her alliance’s tongues. He was able to adapt to the scenarios that were presented to him and followed through as best as possible.

With Andrea eliminated and Brad left as the strongest threat, Culpepper went to work. He won the first challenge before Andrea’s elimination, was vulnerable during her vote-out, then won four straight Immunity Necklaces in a row. “Pick someone else,” he yelled, proving his frustration reached a boiling point.

However, as strong as he played at the end, his social and strategic games deteriorated. He demanded Tai give him an idol, then insisted on taking him out as the final jury member (even though he made Tai feel like a pet). Brad winning the final challenges turned his brain off, giving the winner the momentum they desperately needed.
